Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 11 11. GOD IS VERY MAN. In all the heavens there is no other idea of God than that He is a Man. This is because heaven as a whole and in part is in form like a man, and because it is the Divine which is with the angels that constitutes heaven and inasmuch as thought proceeds according to the form of heaven, it is impossible for the angels to think of God in any other way. From this it is that a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=11 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 19 19. That in God there are infinite things, is still more evident to the angels from the heavens in which they dwell. The whole heaven, consisting of myriads of myriads of angels, in its universal form is like a man. So is each society of heaven, be it larger or smaller. From this, too, an angel is a man, for an angel is a heaven in least form. (This is shown in the work Heaven and Hell, n. 51-86.... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=19 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 55 55. ALL THINGS IN THE CREATED UNIVERSE ARE RECIPIENTS OF THE DIVINE LOVE AND THE DIVINE WISDOM OF GOD-MAN. It is well known that each and all things of the universe were created by God; hence the universe, with each and every thing pertaining to it, is called in the Word the work of the hands of Jehovah. There are those who maintain that the world, with everything it includes, was created ou... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=55 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 85 85. That there is any other sun than that of the natural world has hitherto been unknown. The reason is, that the spiritual of man has so far passed over into his natural, that he does not know what the spiritual is, and thus does not know that there is a spiritual world, the abode of spirits and angels, other than and different from the natural world. Since the spiritual world has lain so deeply... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=85 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 157 157. THE SUN OF THE NATURAL WORLD IS PURE FIRE, CONSEQUENTLY DEAD; NATURE ALSO IS DEAD, BECAUSE IT DERIVES ITS ORIGIN FROM THAT SUN. Creation itself cannot be ascribed in the least to the sun of the natural world, but must be wholly ascribed to the sun of the spiritual world; because the sun of the natural world is altogether dead; but the sun of the spiritual world is living; for it is the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=157 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 170 170. The universal end, that is, the end of all things of creation, is that there may be an eternal conjunction of the Creator with the created universe; and this is not possible unless there are subjects wherein His Divine can be as in Itself, thus in which it can dwell and abide. In order that these subjects may be dwelling-places and mansions of Him, they must be recipients of His love and wisd... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=170 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 186 186. That it may be still better comprehended what discrete degrees are, what their nature is, and how they differ from continuous degrees, the angelic heavens may serve as an example. There are three heavens, and these are separated by degrees of height; therefore the heavens are one below another, nor do they communicate with each other except by influx, which proceeds from the Lord through the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=186 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 188 188. I am not aware that anything has been known hitherto about discrete degrees or degrees of height, only continuous degrees or degrees of breadth have been known; yet nothing of the real truth about cause can become known without a knowledge of degrees of both kinds. These degrees therefore shall be treated of throughout this Part; for it is the object of this little work to uncover causes, tha... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=188 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 253 253. (3) The character of the natural man in whom the spiritual degree is not opened, and yet not closed. The spiritual degree is not opened, and yet not closed, in the case of those who have led somewhat of a life of charity and yet have known little of genuine truth. The reason is, that this degree is opened by conjunction of love and wisdom, or of heat with light; love alone or spiritual heat a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=253 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 284 284. Part First of this Work treated of God, that He is Divine Love and Divine Wisdom; that He is life, and that He is substance and form, which is the very and only Esse. Part Second treated of the spiritual sun and its world, and of the natural sun and its world, and of the creation of the universe with all things thereof from God by means of these two suns. Part Third treated of degrees in whic... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=284 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 324 324. That this is so has been abundantly confirmed in the Arcana Coelestia, also in the work Heaven and Hell, and occasionally in the preceding pages where correspondence is treated of. It has been there shown also that nothing is to be found in the created universe which has not a correspondence with something in man, not only with his affections and their thoughts, but also with his bodily organ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=324 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 338 338. (1) What is meant by evil uses on the earth. By evil uses on earth are meant all noxious things in both the animal and vegetable kingdom, also in the mineral kingdom. It is needless to enumerate all the noxious things in these kingdoms, for to do so would merely heap up names, and doing this without indicating the noxious effect that each kind produces would not contribute to the object which... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=338 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 340 340. (3) There is unceasing influx out of the spiritual world into the natural world. He who does not know that there is a spiritual world, or that it is distinct from the natural world, as what is prior is distinct from what is subsequent, or as cause from the thing caused, can have no knowledge of this influx. This is the reason why those who have written on the origin of plants and animals coul... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=340 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 381 381. The heavens are divided into two kingdoms, one called celestial, the other spiritual; in the celestial kingdom love to the Lord reigns, and in the spiritual kingdom wisdom from that love. The kingdom where love reigns is called heaven's cardiac kingdom, the one where wisdom reigns is called its pulmonic kingdom. Be it known, that the whole angelic heaven in its aggregate represents a single m... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=381 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 391 391. That a spirit, as well as a man on earth in the body enjoys a pulse and a respiration, can only be proved by spirits and angels themselves, when privilege is granted to speak with them. This privilege has been granted to me. When questioned about the matter they declared that they are just as much men as those in the world are, and possess a body as well as they, but a spiritual body, and fee... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=391 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 392 392. These two movements, the cardiac and the pulmonic, derive their origin and persistence from this, that the whole angelic heaven, in general and in particular, is in these two movements of life; and the whole angelic heaven is in these movements because the Lord pours them in from the sun, where He is, and which is from Him; for these two movements are maintained by that sun from the Lord. It... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=392 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 422 422. (18) Love, when purified by wisdom in the understanding, becomes spiritual and celestial. Man is born natural, but in the measure in which his understanding is raised into the light of heaven, and his love conjointly is raised into the heat of heaven, he becomes spiritual and celestial; he then becomes like a garden of Eden, which is at once in vernal light and vernal heat. It is not the unde... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=422 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 424 424. (19) Love, when defiled in the understanding and by it, becomes natural, sensual, and corporeal. Natural love separated from spiritual love is the opposite of spiritual love; because natural love is love of self and of the world, and spiritual love is love to the Lord and love to the neighbor; and love of self and the world looks downward and outward, and love to the Lord looks upward and inw... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=424 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 431 431. To this I will add the following notable experience:-In heaven all who perform uses from affection for use, because of the communion in which they live are wiser and happier than others; and with them performing uses is acting sincerely, uprightly, justly, and faithfully in the work proper to the calling of each. This they call charity; and observances pertaining to worship they call signs of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=431 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 12 12. There is, however, a marriage of good and truth in the cause, and there is a marriage of good and truth from the cause in the effect. The marriage of good and truth in the cause is a marriage of the will and the understanding, that is, of love and wisdom. There is such a marriage in everything that a man wills and thinks, and in his consequent conclusions and purposes. This marriage enters int... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=12
